[issue17581] _ssl fails building on OS X Tiger

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

The _ssl module has failed building (on 3.4) on OS X Tiger for a long time:
http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/x86%20Tiger%203.x/builds/6075/steps/test/logs/stdio

Given the error messages, and given how old OS X Tiger is (according to Google, the system OpenSSL is 0.9.7), I'm inclined to think it is because of missing features on the system OpenSSL.

Is there any point in supporting OS X Tiger in 3.4? Should the _ssl module be updated to use conditionals for "new" (i.e. < 7 years old) OpenSSL features?
